My first centerfire rifle was a used 1953 M70 FWT in .308 and I tweaked it to work for me by floating the barrel, honing the trigger (all supervised by gun smith buddy}. Later had it magna ported to reduce muzzle jump and mounted a 4 power M8 Leupold scope. That was 40 years ago and it is still the rifle that I shoot when failure is not an option.

I reloaded for it at first but when I could not get 100 yard groups less than 5/8 inch, I gave up and went hunting. That turned out to be plenty accurate for me. After many years of banging around Texas after deer, the wood and metal was scratched and dented so the same gunsmith friend slicked it up for me and it is back in service. It is plenty of gun for most American game African plains game.
It just works for me.
